Schonborn sticks his neck out...

This seems to have created a big hoohaa but all Beautiful-Fount seems to be saying is that any theory which incorporates a positive denial of design is inimical to the Faith, and so false. And that such a theory would anyway be straying from the proper province of natural science (plumbing) into metaphysics. Which is really only to say we shouldn't treat natural science as if it could demonstrate necessary truths, and perhaps that there are some fishy goings on with Hegel in the background. In truth, I suspect he thinks the latter from other sources. (I could tell you but I'd have to kill you).
